Open

If you cracked me open would words come out,

glowing like fireflies at twilight?

All that was left unsaid whisked away

on an evening wind.

Would my marrow be lines of my life's story, 

a book whose cover was of bone and flesh.

Would you even be able to find the beginning?

Or would you have to start at the end, 

the last chapter wrapped firmly around my heart.

I loved this piece. I enjoy how you use your insides... "marrow", "bone and flesh" to describe your story, what people know about you. Only problem is that their is no beginning in a sense (let me know if I'm wrong... you can help me)... And that your true personality is in your heart, something that will take a long time to get to!
Really enjoyed it... I am a bit tired too, so let me know if I got it!

No you were spot on. And your'e right it doesn't really have a beginning does it?

[Joshua Ramirez]

There is no beginning to what we can learn about someone... or no actual start as to what you can learn about a person... but its the personal things thats in the heart which takes time to get to.

Amazing use of words and thoughts. I wish more people would open-up and write. All of us have a story to be told or written. I like the poem. Left the reader with something to think about. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
